" He has become a very brave man.. just like you.."

"But I think he looks a lot just like you... Yanli.."

I wanna bang my head so much you don't understand...

Thinking about an AU where Jiang Yanli's "weak / mediocre cultivation" was caused by a horrific training accident when she was pretty young, in part to explore the tragedy and disability of it all and in part for the humorous "older relative casually drops wild personal lore that changes your entire perception of them" angle.

Like, Jiang Fengmian and Yu Ziyuan's firstborn child is a girl, which is not ideal in this deeply sexist world, but the sect motto is "attempt the impossible", right? It's not unheard of for female cultivators to lead sects and Yu Ziyuan wants her daughter to be the first female Jiang sect leader, to show up the cultivation world, and Jiang Fengmian isn't against the idea and wants the best for his daughter (although he probably doesn't want her to be a copy of his wife). So Jiang Yanli starts her cultivation training pretty early. There's a lot of intense pressure, a lot of expectation and projection and some arguments, and it all culminates in this poor child getting badly injured, with permanent damage to both her body and to her cultivation. It's a "no one's fault and everyone's fault" thing.

Jiang Fengmian and Yu Ziyuan quietly drop their plans for Yanli to become the sect leader and focus on a very young Jiang Cheng instead, which is easy in part because everyone expects the son to inherit anyway. A young Jiang Yanli is betrothed to the heir of the Jin Sect and this is basically never talked about ever again. General perception is that Jiang Yanli is a mediocre cultivator at best because she was born that way (she's a WOMAN, after all) and/or because her disposition is just too sweet and agreeable, and OF COURSE the son became the heir as soon as the Jiangs had a son. That's just how things work!

So, in an AU where Jiang Yanli (and Jin Zixuan?) lives and teenage Jin Ling is freaking out about some embarrassing and/or dangerous mistake on a night hunt...

Jiang Yanli, patting her son's shoulder: "It's going to be okay. You know, when I was a young child, I permanently injured myself in a training accident and could no longer become the Jiang sect leader, and it felt like the end of the world, letting everyone down, but it all worked out in the end!"

Jin Ling, whose entire 15-year-old worldview just got flipped upside-down: "...Mother?! What?!?!"

Wei Wuxian 🤝 Maleficent: Not being invited to a child's birthday party but showing up anyways (to make things worse).

There is a convoluted tangle of "jealous of other people's younger sibling".

Wei Wuxian: Lan Zhan is so adorable! I wish I had a cute didi like him!

Jiang Cheng: Hey!

Lan Xichen: Oh, Wangji is perfect, but I wish we were a bit closer to each other like the Yunmeng brothers.

Nie MingJue: Look at Meng Yao, just look at him! He can draw up an emergency patrol roster in his sleep!

Jiang Yanli: I love them, I do. But I wish they were a bit less... them and a bit more sensitive and tactful like that HuaiSang.

Wen Qing: The day Wen Ning can stand up for himself, like young master Jiang, is the day I can die peacefully.

Jin ZiXuan:(looking at Meng Yao and Mo XuanYu) They are perfect!

Say what you will about Jin Zixuan but he's such a brother-in-law character. Like, you know he's rich and vaguely good looking but you still have no idea what your sister sees in him and you still haven't forgiven him about all the times he made her sad, doesn't matter if "we were only teenagers" and "he apologized" because in your opinion he hasn't grovelled enough but your sister likes him so you have to see him at every family gathering. I can see him wearing some type of sweather vest looking all awkward at the Jiang family gathering, there a 50/50 chance he's holding Jin Ling but it depends on the day, not because of any sexist belief that men shouldn't be taking care of children, but because while holding his son would help him pretend to not be as awkward as he feels (kind of like clinging onto the only person that you know at a party only that they're your baby son and your wife is talking with her family right over there) Jin Ling is also an auntie magnet so he has to fight for the right to hold his own son against elderly women and his wife's younger brothers, it's harder than you think but he's doing his best

A CONFESSION?????

My second prompt for the MDZS Gotcha for Gaza event, requested by bianca_boop on twitter! Jian Yanli/transwoman Jin Zixuan. I chose that moment of gender euphoria when you finally look like yourself!
